WELCOME
Welcome to the Home of the Panthers!
Parkview is an inclusive, community school serving a population of approximately 585 students in kindergarten through grade 9. We work hard to create a strong culture of support and a feeling of family for our students in their home away from home. Our motto is “No reward without effort” and it speaks to our belief that hard work drives success. Starting at grade 7, we offer the Mandarin Bilingual Program and the Academic Enrichment programs. Our school is also a Division site for the junior high Interactions program, serving students with Autism. Here at Parkview School, we are committed to the academic and personal success of all students. The success of our students depends on the cooperation and dedication of school staff, teachers, students, parents and the community. The high expectations we set at school lead to excellent results for all our students, both in school and in the community.

Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year at Parkview School!
We are thrilled to welcome both new and returning students and their families to Parkview School. Parkview School is an inviting and inclusive school community where diversity is celebrated and valued, and where relationships are nurtured. Emphasis is placed on creating an environment where students feel capable and connected and develop the skills required to be contributing members both in our school and in the broader community.
At Parkview School we believe that educating our students is a collective responsibility, shared by students and their families, school staff and also the entire community. Through a collaborative approach in working together with you as partners, we will maximize the potential of all students. We are committed to providing a positive learning environment that will foster and support high academic and behavioral expectations, capitalizing on the value of strong working relationships.
In an effort to ensure all students are successful, our teachers will use a differentiated approach to teaching. This approach includes thoughtful planning, strategic assessment of learning outcomes, and targeted, flexible instruction. Classroom teaching will be a blend of whole class, group, partner, and individual instruction. Students will be provided with multiple opportunities to make sense of ideas and information, practice new skills, and to demonstrate what they have learned.
Communication is key at Parkview School and is a shared responsibility. Updates and information will be communicated mainly through the use of SchoolZone and students, parents and guardians are asked to check SchoolZone regularly. Also, feel free to drop by the school office and introduce yourself, share your feedback or concerns and ask any questions. Your questions, concerns, observations and feedback are welcomed and embraced so please connect with us by phone, email or in person at any time.
I look forward to an amazing year with our students, families and the entire Parkview Community!
